Messi Pays Tribute to Late Father | Jamaica News
Description
Lionel Messi’s father, Jorge, has passed away at 68, a pivotal figure who guided Leo’s career as his agent and business manager. The loss hits especially hard amid Leo’s emotional World Cup run, where he revealed his dad’s declining health just before the tournament—and how he desperately wanted his father to witness his final shot at glory. Messi spoke of pushing his body beyond limits to honor his dad, yet felt physically unable to deliver the win. The football world rallied around the family, prompting Leo to return to Argentina and miss Inter Miami’s recent match. His next game remains uncertain, with no set return date.
